INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-513 and 731-TA-1249 (Final)]


Sugar From Mexico

Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by 
reason of imports of sugar from Mexico, provided for in statistical 
subheadings 1701.12.1000, 1701.12.5000, 1701.13.1000, 1701.13.5000, 
1701.14.1000, 1701.14.5000, 1701.91.1000, 1701.91.3000, 1701.99.1010, 
1701.99.1025, 1701.99.1050, 1701.99.5010, 1701.99.5025, 1701.99.5050, 
1702.90.4000 and 1703.10.3000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States, that have been found by the Department of Commerce 
(``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States at less than fair value 
(``LTFV''), and to be subsidized by the government of Mexico.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ All six Commissioners voted in the affirmative.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background

    The Commission, pursuant to sections 705(b) and 735(b) of the Act 
(19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)), instituted these 
investigations effective March 28, 2014, following receipt of a 
petition filed with the Commission and Commerce by the American Sugar 
Coalition and its members: American Sugar Cane League, Thibodaux, LA; 
American Sugarbeet Growers Association, Washington, DC; American Sugar 
Refining, Inc., West Palm Beach, FL; Florida Sugar Cane League, 
Washington, DC; Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Company, Puunene, HI; Rio 
Grande Valley Sugar Growers, Inc., Santa Rosa, TX; Sugar Cane Growers 
Cooperative of Florida, Belle Glade, FL; and United States Beet Sugar 
Association, Washington, DC. The final phase of the investigations was 
scheduled by the Commission following notification of preliminary 
determinations by Commerce that imports of sugar from Mexico were 
subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1671b(b)) and dumped within the meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the 
Commission's investigations and of a public hearing to be held in 
connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the 
Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 
Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register on 
December 18, 2014 (79 FR 75591). On December 19, 2014, the Department 
of Commerce suspended the antidumping and countervailing duty 
investigations on sugar from Mexico (79 FR 78039, 78044, December 29, 
2014). Subsequently, Commerce received timely requests to continue the 
antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on sugar from Mexico 
and resumed its investigations on May 4, 2015 (80 FR 25278). The 
Commission, therefore, revised its schedule to conform with Commerce's 
new schedule (80 FR 28009, May 15, 2015). The hearing was held in 
Washington, DC, on September 16, 2015, and all persons who requested 
the opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to sections 
705(b) and 735(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 
U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these 
investigations on November 6, 2015. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 4577 (November 2015), entitled Sugar 
from Mexico: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-513 and 731-TA-1249 (Final).
